Are Nigerians willing to pay for 24/7 electricity given the increasing rates of tariff?

People mentioning you must be bastardxxx, i will likely close my restaurant because of the phcn issue, just 9 to 9, they cant provide, if at all, i get 3 hours of half current daily which we still use gen for microwave, i spend about 11k on diesel {30 litres), i only used ac on sunday evening when i have shows yet these bastardsxxxx brought a bill of 58k,i paid 30 when they came around, before i paid it, i told the marketer with them "even though im not at the shop with you guys i can tell you 2 things,
number 1 gen must be running,
Number 2 there wont be more than 3 customers there" and i was right, she was speechless ,if they do the same next month, it would be 28 left over plus 58k,i will shut down, lay off workers, leave this country and go work in a warehouse or something im the uk, we are barely getting by as the price of food is so high, we had to increase prices hence, not a lot of customers on the mainland can afford. Cooking gas prices have more than doubled in less than a year, people now see meal of #1, 500 as luxury. Next months bill might be the nail in the coffin.

It's unfortunate what small businesses have to go through in Nigeria.

backbencher:
The thing is Nigerians do not pay the power sector the kind of money they need to fix things and that includes both the government and the people.

Forcing the sector to run at a loss.

That's why we spend more on generators.

The truth is, we need at least 30 billion dollars a year, for 16 years to fix power. Our budget, with borrowing and debt is not up to 28 billion dollars US.

how come Ghana is having steady light abi na USA dey supply them

The remaining 50% are from the northern part

You're lame. I'm not the cause of your depression, waka pass. U sabi God na u dey Nairaland for Sunday morning.

No bro. May God really punish you as you no see other countries to bomb.
Continue to dey find #5k to move. Cheap Thief

Generally true. But in the last six months, i haven't used my generator more than 4 times. Power relatively stable, plus i know when they will take it and I have light every night till 6am.

NothingDoMe:
That's why they won't fix energy supply problem in Nigeria. They make so much gains from sabotaging the economy.

Imagine someone saying that they can't fix roads once and for all because there wont be any more work to be done. So Nigeria is perpetually fixing roads, perpetually fighting insecurity, perpetually tackling one problem or the other.
All because people make money from Chaos.

There is so much troubles with light in Nigeria that we are just in limbo today!
It's unfortunate that light is now scarce because we played with Nigerians emotions or that Nigerians love it that way!
From OBJ to Jonathan and the present govt, Nigeria should have forgotten anything called power failure by now but because we love Politicians,tribal sentiments and religious biases,we remain in one spot while other Countries are progressing!
Why did we not allow General Electric to be one of the Discos,at least to give other Discos a challenge?-because we were playing local Politics with the future and the end result is darkness! Quality and constant light will rapidly brings the needed Industrialization!
When the present govt came and many Nigerians said the Discos and Gemco Contracts should be looked into for review-' ah no, it's a contract' and who says bad contract can't be repudiated? That is Nigeria!
We all love as things hardly works here and we even pollute the Foreigners working here by our internal-Corruption methods and we want Nigeria to be better! We are not serious and we are not discipline!
Certainly,some people are benefitting from the darkness in Nigeria and it includes those sponsoring importing generators as business,for they went to Ghana to open Shops and after 3-months no patronage, they closed Shops and ran back to Nigeria,for Ghanians are celebrating decades of stable light in their Country! That is where all those Business and Companies that closed Shops in Nigeria rellocate to due to availability of light- including Mitchelling etc. No generator in Ghana and even Cotourno- Benin Republic!
Can the present Discos and Gemco arrangements give Nigeria the needed INDUSTRIALIZATION( 24/7 and 365 Days light- without Off and On- a blame game is now shifted to NERC(Nat.Eletr.Reg Com)?
Otherwise, the World is already Flying because they are generating their energy( Elon Musk Car Production) readily comes to mind!
-Nigerians are dynamic people,if there is constant light,many Industries will spring up- afterall,most of these mobile Phones Production we import is done because of regular light and through try and error we get up and running!
-Unemployment will drastically reduced!
- Many Research and Development will come alive in Nigeria,for instance- DSTV,GO-tv are all services, selling into Millions of Nigerians homes from South Africa- no oil here!
-So,why can't each State in Nigeria generate and use their own energy and possibly export the excess as Revenues even to others States!
-Political action is what we need and many States are just lazy as they are benefitting and being spoon fed by Federation Account Money- but for how long will Nigeria continue to be in darkness and run by generators?
Imagine Chicago (City of Light) in darkness for 30min! Imagine New York - in darkness for 20mins.Imagine City of London as Financial Institution of the World goes in darkness for 35min,even Accra-Ghana is already proudly now 8th Biggest Economy in Africa!
It's just too shameful and we cannot continue like this! It is wicked for us not to do what is right,yet we traveled to Dubai,Paris,etc to enjoy and use our scarce foreign exchange (dollars),when we can't fix our Country's problem like light! The World will not fix Nigeria for us,the earlier for us,the better!
So we moved!
It is well with Nigeria!

you must be a NEPA official or one of the dreaded polithiefians! That figure for a year, it way too much.

Shame of a nation, and this did not start from Buhari, though he also as his predecessors did not do much.

It's more than half abeg. Every house on my street alone uses generator every single day. E come be like say na noise competition

Noise and Air pollution. . .

The adverse effect of it is pollution.

All the roads have been neglected for years without maintenance, so they are all bad. There is no way they can fix all of them at the same time. Where will they get the money from. So we will have to live with those bad roads.

You see how government useless economic policy is negatively affecting the life of a typical Nigerian? May God judge this leaders without hesitation..

I'm of the opinion that you should disconnect from the PHCN services totally, most of my friends that have your kind of business, that's what they do...

what if u run away with all the funds?

no running... Na continued job

Gas is the future of Nigerian power

Yet the mallams up up north are taking Chinese loans to build hydro

You must be a PDP or an APC supporter too yourself.

Because, as someone said elsewhere, they charge higher for power in Ghana, plus if you don't pay, they cut your power off till you do there.

well, I voted for Atiku, but he wasn't my favorite, but being a major party, it either you vote for an APC candidate or for PDP candidate. That doesn't make me a supporter of PDP party.

YoungLionken:
More than half actually..

OBJ comes to mind..

Everyone's(me too) complaining of Buhari, but the problem didn't really started with him..

Sixteen years of PDP in power shattered the Nigeria of our dreams..

MODIFIED

I can see that some people are ignorantly mentioning me..

I never exonerated the APCheat government over past rule of Pdp1gs!!

All I'm saying that both contributed to the many problems bedeviling the country. In other words, Pdp1g shouldn't be seen as an angel over APCheat, because they're same!!!

But christmas rice was cheap.

. There's no difference between apc n pdp they're the same people with no idealogy. I'll only vote a new party with a new candidate. If he wins good, if he doesn't good .

Funny how efcc keeps arresting the products not the enablers of crime, if i decide to stay in nigeria, no be crime i go face?

InoGetJoy:

30 billion dollars is enough to provide a modular power station to each state so what are you saying?

Our budget for this year is around 28 billion dollars.

You want to spend all that money on just one power station?

We're still having energy crisis in this country simply because the successive useless governments we've been having don't want to fix the power issue

Nope because we all treat power like it is supposed to be free of charge. That's not how it works.

As for me, PDP and APC are rubbish.

Almost 8years in power u destroyed Nigerias economy, when they tell u to list your achievements you will say u borrowed money so china can help u build rail and bridge’s.

Any government can borrow money from china even Niger republic is oweing china, the fact that the things china couldn’t do for u, u destroyed it shows how much of a failure this government is

This is not news anymore, Even a toddler knows that it is over 80% rated. But that as not answer my questions, when topic of this calibre gains attention on public platform like this, it should come with suggested and lasting solutions that will see an end to the problem.

In as much as we all know that this administration, and their sister's in politics are all monumental failures and as sabotage the existence of the country, then the needed as to be done to savage the country from the hands of rogues and cannibal because I have never seen a country that prospered either without a great leader or a popular revolt.

Indeed, this country will continue to fail, come 2023 no one should expect a miracle. The structure this current leadership is running is outdated and outrightly bad and they knew it that is why they kept the pple poor, leaving them to wallow in abject poverty and not to enjoy Thier divided of democracy which is their citizenship right.

The problems of Nigeria are Nigerian's and his solution are right here in Nigeria.

I use solar and inverter 24/7/365

Great but there is a truth, we are not able for now to pay for 24/7 power given the oppressed wages and the increasing tarrif rates.
